lvl 24 Elemental Shaman

Hey, Mech.. I was doing bgs with you and Dotctor the other night. I think I was on my monk, Elrapido. Your gear looks pretty tight in general and from what I remember you were doing fine.

I think the boar's speed could be a good switch for you. If you stick with nature's guardian you get a lil xtra boost there, plus when not in ghostwolf you'll still kite better. And if you switched your hit trink for haste trink you'd prolly nvr miss the diff in cast time.

First of all I want to thank you for the advice, I took the haste on my feet just as a filler until I get the boar's speed and I was thinking about switching out my hit trinket but I like the stamina until I get my agm. Hopefully i'll see you back in the gulch.

First off I'd swap heavy ring for advisor's or something with spirit on, so that you don't need to waste a trinket slot with a rune - seeing as you already have +10 spirit to shield. Unless of course you're already hit capped without rune of perfection.

Next although you already have 8% haste I'd swap the haste on your boots for movement speed, and the enchant on your gloves I would swap for haste. Movement speed is much more important than a tiny bit of spell power when you're already a stronk 24. It's all about positioning, trust me. [edit: sorry just read you were planning on getting boot speed, but my point stands]

Now if you really want to keep the transmog I suppose you don't need to worry about the proper BoAs, but armor does make a huge difference. However I'm guilty too - my shaman uses leather BoA shoulders for mog purposes.

Fantastic choice going goblin, I wouldn't change race for the world. I probably don't have to say this but just incase; never use rocket barrage, save your racial for rocket jump.

Lastly, I see you mentioned AGM. Seeing that you have Nature's Guardian, I strongly suggest you avoid AGM. Use Mark of Tyranny and stack it with your Nature's Guardian. You can use it much more often, you'll get more survivability out of it, AND it has a slight resilience boost. Not to mention you already have more than enough health.

My shaman is the second X in my signature, and if you think I might not be a credible source, ask Brainwash : )

I see what you're saying about mark of tyranny and I will buy it as soon as I get enough honor, as you can see by my hk I am relatively new on this guy. Would you mind telling me what the hand enchantment that you were talking about is? Also could you please give me a suggestion or two for said spirit ring, would the advisor ring be a good choice? Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly and you certainly seem credible to me ;)
 
Sorry as I don't have a P2P account I don't really know the names of the enchants, I'm looking into it.
Ask in guild chat what the "Haste enchant to gloves" is, or whatever. Sorry about assuming you have all the BoAs by the way, thought it was just a new character, not a new realm/account.

To be quite honest, having Swoops remind me of Surefooted (8 crit 8 hit I think, or 10 for both if it doesn't scale properly) I might have changed my mind about the movement speed to boots.

You don't really need the movement speed if you're smart with positioning, and ghost wolf is always there - plus as a 24 you have Frost Shock to utilize. Having the 8 hit on boots would also mean you don't need to swap the ring out for spirit. The crit is nice too obviously.

tl;dr use surefooted

I'd use surefooted on an ele over boars speed any day. You have instant wolf and on top of that you're a goblin. 8 crit is huge and the hit just makes it even more worthwhile. Elementals with high crit are nasty but I doubt you're gonna take my advice lol.
 
New to this bracket, but here's my two cents:

Extra speed is amazing. I'd certainly take it on a shaman (you have a 0% chance to die to a warrior without speed enchants/pots). However, I think being as you have so many other tools at your disposal (frost shock, wolf, goblin racial) you could get away with taking something else (like surefoot)
